Har. It is of course meant to be read . . . preferably aloud, to
one's small children, who might come to believe that Pooh's wise
friend is named Al.
Of course, any such misapprehension will be dispelled once they see
any pictures of the character in question, perhaps the Disney version
on either the TV show "My Friends Tigger and Pooh" or a DVD of one of
the movies.
Also, of course, his name is more properly spelled "Wol".
